Mimi loves Fruits Basket anime. She sits through the entire opening and ending theme songs transfixed and while playing in her playpen will actually stop every few minutes to watch. Of course I play it in Japanese (can't stand dubs except for Spirited Away since I saw it first dubbed).
Now I have an excuse to buy the soundtrack(s).
Woot! Oh, and my husband ordered...

The diet/eating healthy/exercise lifestyle change is going well. I don't own a scale so I don't know how much weight I've lost but I don't mind that. I can tell I've lost weight and am toning up...the husband has noticed too.
I'm vain although I try not to be.
The only down side is that my arms rival his in bicep size. Ha.

I think that everyone is a little vain. Not to sound mean but is your man a little on the skinny size?
If your biceps are equal insize, I would hate for you to use them on me.
Have a good day girl.

My pookie pie loves paper of any kind. We spend all kinds of money on developmental yet fun baby toys and she'll toss them for a napkin any day. I'm kinda hoping she'll be one of those kids that can find a stick and spend hours imagining shes a queen or a horsewoman or a lion tamer or a maestro...The idea of her growing up...

We are the same way with the twins, they rather be outside playing in the dirt or with the laundry basket; yet have a room full of mind challenging toys.
I try to challenge them by having them read a simple book, but the boy just eats them.
I agree, Hexe is the cat's meow.

Hi there, right back at ya.
I'm told that when I was little I would put my preasents to one side and play with the boxes for hours. It's a good way to be. And liking paper is cool. Maybe it means they'll be an artist.
Changing the subject, I think more companies should put similar labels on their clothes. We brits could do the same thing with Prince Philip, since we actually didn't vote for him.
The BNP really are that bad. Well, verging on it, at least. I really hope it's the leaders of the countries in question which are being called evil... even Bush couldn't be that daft, right?

Welcome to ormunroe's naughty thoughts/dreams...I will not get explicit, well, I don't anticipate getting explicit
but I just wanted to share...you've been warned
For quite some time (in my continuing sex-free nights) I often dream of having threesomes. Oddly enough, the girl is always big-breasted. I've never really been into big breasts before but that apparently is changing. I'm usually in a position to...

rosehips:
I have been reading and rereading your two posts to me. Trying to come up with something helpful and supportive. Sometimes that seems like a difficult thing for me. To be honest, empathy is relatively new to me. I do want to help and support you in whatever you decide. I am just not very good at this. I keep second guessing myself. Starting over. Afraid I will say the wrong thing or not fully convey how much I sympathize with your situation. You have no idea how often I have thought about this. The situation you are in is so very similar to the one that "Roy" is in with his wife. I really can't say what I think you should do. All I can say is that I know how hard it is to stay in a relationship that is not fulfilling. It has been an incredible burden for Roy and made him in many ways a very unhappy man. It was also quite a burden for me to stay in a freindship that had become nothing but a source of heartache. Walking away was hard. Staying would have been harder. Not the same as ending a marriage, of course, but, it was, for me, more significant than any sexual relationship I ever had, and very difficult to end.
I do think, however, that there is nothing wrong with trying to get yourself on a better footing before you make any decisions. I don't think there is anything wrong with making sure you are in a good position before (if) you leave the marriage. And who knows maybe your mom will be right and while you are making the changes you need to make you will fall in love again.
I have felt tht way. Only once. I never got the chance to find out just how good it could be. One of my great regrets. The only person who ever got me excited with just a casual touch.
I wish I had more or better advice to offer you. I guess I will end with saying that you can't put other people's happiness before your own. In the end that just leaves everyone unhappy. I also think that you have to take risks and accept that sometimes people get hurt.
I truly hope you find a way to either mend your relationship or a way to part on good terms.
Sigh. I hope all this made some kind of sense.

I'm glad you're back to updating I was missing you when you came back to the states.
The Darkness commented in his journal the other day about how wonderful parenthood was and I must agree.
Of course, I have the most beautiful baby that ever has or ever will exist (every parent does
). I can't even describe how happy she makes me feel. Every morning she wakes up with a big smile for me and of course, she is the only...

i'm at an advantage i think because i never thought i'd get this far in life. my inner time bomb was to go off sometime around 20, at the latest. but here i am with this littel person who seems to adore me and i cant get enough of him.
being home with pants these past almost 2 years has been the greatest experience of my life. i didnt know what love was, hadnt even been offered a sliver until he was born.
i'll never deny that he wasnt a mistake. his conception and birth were not planned well if at all but i could never dream in the most lucid nightmare of not having tiny love.

I think the slowing down of the friends list for me is that I never have time to relpy to anyone, but once school is over; watch out, I will talk everyones eyes out. Becayse you can't hear me speak, only read what I write.
You get the point.

Counseling couldnt hurt
I meant to update in detail sooner but the baby and I have been getting over jet-lag. This has been the worst case for her so far.
Well, first off we stayed two weeks in Michigan with my husband's family. It was nicer than I expected but of course this time all the pressure was off of me since they were anxious to spend time...

i'm jealous...
oh, you've got lovely eyes...
i've mentioned it before, that i'm inthe same boat, and really i just worry about workign onm hte relationship while i'm in it. it wont end one day with one fight adn one mutual screaming match but i'm sure it'll end. when that time comes then i'll start dealing with my faer of being lonely and have a just fucked myself. for now all there is this and for now that's decent enough.
